if the machine does not have a built-in dust port,
use the following table to determine which size of
dust port to install.

average machine.

Write the required CFm for each machine on your
sketch, as shown in the

figure below.

3. directional changes should be kept to a mini-

mum. the more directional change fittings
you use directly increases the overall resis-
tance to airflow.

4. gradual directional changes are more effi-

cient than sudden directional changes (i.e.
use the largest corner radius possible when
changing hose or pipe direction).

5. Each individual branch line should have a

blast gate immediately after the branch to
control suction from one machine to another.

6. the simpler the system, the more efficient

and less costly it will be.

determine required cfms

since each machine produces a different amount
of sawdust, the requirements for the minimum
amount of CFm to move that sawdust is unique
to the machine (for example, a planer produces
more sawdust than a table saw). Knowing this
required CFm is important to gauging which size
of duct to use.

refer to the

figure below for a close estimation of

the airflow each machine requires. Keep in mind
that machines that generate the most sawdust
should be placed closest to the dust collector.
if the machine has multiple dust ports, the total
CFm required is the sum of all ports.

figure 46. Approximate required airflow for

machines, based on dust port size.
